The other major issue is that I also spent the longest time at home which means I have had to unload my mothers 20 giantic boxes of Christmas Crap all through the house helping her decorate year after year. Yes, I complained, but I was still there, even after I moved out. But this over decorating at her house has caused me to be a non-decorator at my house. I have A (ONE) smallish box of Christmas crap. I even have some interesting ornaments we've purchased from around the country, but alas, they are still in the basement and may just stay there this year.
And so I share my bah-humbug (Isn't that nice of me), and I curl up in my blankey and wait for Christmas to be over. I'm not wishing it to pass because I am THAT much of a grinch, but moreso because I'll be through the first trimester come January and I can stop feeling so icky and become a real human again. And so, if you don't see me wearing my Jingle Bell socks and matching appliqued Holiday Theme Sweater you'll know it's because I'm stuck in jammies until the new year.
(PS - I am SO pathetic that the Jewish 5th grade teacher is choreographing our Christmas Sing-a-long this year! I have a wonderful teaching team!)

I guess i have never looked at Christmas from your perspective, maybe because thanks to you I got to see the sparkle of christmas morning, I should appreciate having 3 younger siblings for that reason...hmmm. No big deal if you cant find the spirit this year, you have years ahead of you when the choice will not be yours, kids do that to you. enjoy the jammies and blankies !!!
maybe "grinchiness" just runs in the family?? kyle is a total scrooge about christmas (and most holidays at that) and he was the OLDEST! go figure~?
